Furano Cheese Factory （富良野チーズ工房）| Furano

Furano Cheese Factory （富良野チーズ工房） is famous for delicious cheese, of course, but I also recommend ice cream made from fresh milk, and pizza with their cheese!

Look at this comfortable atmosphere! The facility is sounded with the nature!

We just relaxed for a while, taking pictures and walking around this compound!

Let's enter the building!
Visitors can learn how to make cheese on the 1st floor.

As we looked at the cheese-making process, we got very hungry suddenly, and dashed to the second floor! Hahaha!

Before shopping, we fully enjoyed tasting their cheese!

Three kinds of cheese were served; "Wine Cheddar" (made of Furano wine and fresh milk),  very milky " Maison de Pierre",  and .............

"Sepia" made of fresh milk and squid ink. Personally "Sepia" is my favorite, tasting very Hokkaido!

Don't forget to take pictures with this cow!

Would you like to eat pizza with Furano cheese?
If so, I recommend a pizza restaurant next to Furano Cheese Factory.

They mainly use local ingredients and

baked pizzas in the stone oven! Yummy x 2!!

Actually Furano Cheese Factory reminds a lot of local people of their gelato!

There's a long line in front of the ice cream parlor all the time!

Which should I eat today??

They serve several kinds of flavors, all of which are made of local ingredients.

As I wanted to eat three flavors, but they don't serve triples, I ordered a double and a single gelato! Hahaha!
These are cheese and asparagus! Yummy x 2! You cannot miss cheese flavor because this parlar is in the"cheese" factory. I also recommend vegetable gelato such as corn, pumpkin, and asparagus because Furano produces delicious vegetables!!

"White" tastes very milk! I should have ordered Furano melon flavor, too? Hahaha!

How do you like pumpkin ice milk?

I also recommend grape ice milk （ふらのぶどう果汁）, made of local milk and local grape.

We fully enjoyed this facility!

Furano Wine House （ふらのワインハウス）| Restaurant | Furano

Furano is famous not only for its lavenders, but also for its wine, cheese, melons, and ice cream. Today, I'll show you "Furano Wine House （ふらのワインハウス）", a restaurant serving the local  wine, cheese, and so on.

As it is located on the hill, we can enjoy the Tokachidake mountain range （十勝岳連峰） and the whole picture of the city from the restaurant. Wonderful, isn't it?

Let's enter it!

I recommend tables near the windows so that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery!

This is the lunch menu↓

The most popular dish here is cheese fondue, which is made of delicious local cheese!

If you feel it big, they serve the smaller version (right)!

Of course, don't forget their wine!

Voila!
I ordered a small cheese fondue and hamburger steak set! The best combination, isn't it?

Yummy x 2!! It's very creamy!!

And this is very juicy!!!

The main dishes go well with plain  rice!! Of course, this is Hokkaido rice!

Furano Wine （富良野ワイン） is delicious, but personally grape juice made of local grape is also very recommendable! Please try it!

After lunch, we walked around the restaurant, and relaxed for a while!
